Mercedes to replace steering wheel with futuristic spaceship yoke for latest EV

The German car giant will soon offer a cut-away steering wheel design for its flagship electric vehicle to make owners feel like their at the controls of a spaceship. It is not the first brand to offer the futuristic shape instead of a traditional wheel. Tesla made its yoke available for Model S and Model X customers from 2021. However, the move was hugely criticised for a combination of practical usability issues and little customer demand.
